Keep in mind that RealtyTrac's information may not always be accurate and oftentimes can be misleading--you could be looking at a lis pendens property--notice of default--some of those properties may not be for sale yet, and some may never be, if the default is satisfied by the owner. If you are interested in foreclosures, work with an agent--he/she will have access to reliable information; most foreclosure do end up being listed by a broker--also don't overlook traditional sales as some may turn out to be a much better bargain than some of the foreclosure properties.
